Joshua Woodruff (Working Hypothesis) ^1a,^1b — No marriage record located. Identified as Parmelia's husband via the 1850 and 1860 census, both enumerating her in his household.

John Farney Woodruff (b. 6 Dec 1842) — See his page for full documentation and citations.
Mary E. Woodruff (b. c. 1844) ^1a,^1b
Milla Woodruff (b. c. 1855) ^1b
Albert Woodruff (b. c. 1857) — Still living in 1936, per the Portsmouth Times, when he was John's housemate in his final years. ^1b,²

Is Parmelia Farney the same woman recorded as 'Milly Woodruff,' mother of John Farney Woodruff, on his page? Birth year (c. 1820) and death location (Greenfield Township, Gallia County, Ohio — the same township where Joshua and Milly were enumerated together in 1860) are consistent, but no source yet names her under both forms, and 'Milly' as a period nickname for 'Parmelia' is unconfirmed.
